Committees
For each term of Council, citizens are appointed by Council to various Committees and Boards.
To promote input and involvement of Township's citizens and, at the same time, assist Council in its deliberations, Committees are established by Council to study specific issues or areas of interest, and provide advice to Council for consideration.
At the commencement of Council's term, you are invited to volunteer your time and experience to participate on such Committees and Boards dealing with a multitude of matters affecting the community. To recognize, promote and strengthen the sense of the community, diversity and beauty of our area, interested individuals are invited to participate as Committee members.
